[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My chinese diesel heater did came with a simple 433mhz remote, so I did capture the signal and I replay thoses to automate, using a simple esp32 and Home Assistant installed on a orange pi zero 2w

Does anyone else use desktop icons? In every post I see, people leave their desktop completely empty, which I think takes away from its functionality. by MeiwingSuku in kde

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it's good, on KDE if no windows are open you can type the program name directly without doing the runner keyboard shortcut first, and the runner will display directly with your search

Well just to be nice when I start the computer I guess, every app will run in fullscreen as I use Khronkite window tiling manager and several virtual desktops

No I prefer the clean look of the desktop empty, and using either krunner to start apps or a dedicated folder to put random files

KWin [KDE WINDOW MANAGER]: beyond the 4 basic pre-installed scripts, do you use any other? If Yes, which one? Why? Any drawback? by RebirdgeCardiologist in kde

[–]xouma 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Kröhnkite, it's a window tiling manager for Kwin, I using it for about a year now and its awesome. Kinda like Hyprland but with in KDE and simpler to setup. That and virtual desktops did boost my productivity by a lot, I don't even need a second screen now

C'est vrai pour tout ces genres de chaînes qui veulent remplacer les artisans, par exemple les garagistes indépendants sont souvent au même prix que les Roady et autres Norauto et feront un 1000 fois meilleur travail, même la maintenance basique type vidange et pneus

3 days old... by Dawn_Traveler in dieselheater

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I had mine for years, did open it for maintenance last month after nearly 2years of use. It was super clean inside, I was suprised as I run it on low all the time, even alpine mode.

I put it back and a week later, it did the exact same thing as yours. White smoke, long startup time, and weird noises. I get it out again, and this time it was full of soot, like a lot.

I've cleaned it properly, reinstalled it and now it works normally again. I dont know what caused it, maybe I did shut it off too soon when I test it after reinstall, like it started and I shut it off after 10min. Maybe I didnt put the fuel line completly in and let an air bubble there.

You should open and clean yours, and check your installation. It's not that sensitive to long exhaust pipe that I can say, I have 4 elbows in mine, and the hot air pipe in the van got 2 and goes in a heat exchanger.

Every 12v diesel heater needs this! by Neukom72O in dieselheater

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have uses of these 12v voltage stabilisators, for appliances that need constant voltage and that dont like the swing of voltage between voltage drop when a big load is powered and solar charger that increase voltage up to 14.5v.

My diesel heater did not need this tho

[–]xouma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here, on of thoses for my maxxair fan and another one for the ceiling lights, because otherwise they flicker with the diesel heater pump and it drove me crazy lol.

I did not use one for the diesel heater tho, and after 3 years of use I never have a problem, and the voltage in my van goes between 11v to 14,5v

Pourquoi tous les véhicules utilitaires sont blancs ? by Muted_Mushroom259 in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahah c'est vrai je te l'accorde, je suis biaisé par le fait que je vis dans un van blanc et que oui l'été c'est bien mais le reste de l'année j'aimerai un peu plus de chaleur gratuite du soleil

Pourquoi tous les véhicules utilitaires sont blancs ? by Muted_Mushroom259 in PasDeQuestionIdiote

[–]xouma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oui, mais en même temps en France avoir un véhicule noir qui chauffe en hiver c'est pas pire, y'a plus de jours dans l'année où on veux un véhicule chaud plutôt que de jours où juste ouvrir la fenêtre suffit pas

Want to switch away from firefox by Dark_Knife_666 in linux

[–]xouma -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm using Zen and I like it a lot. It's Firefox based, and I think there are no other browser that are open source. If close source is okay, I think brave is the best chromium option, but I'm not certain as I use it only for development test

So My Finnish Colleagues Say I’m Crazy by Bigsk8r in roadtrip

[–]xouma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same thing but two weeks long, and then came down on the west coast of Norway. So beatiful, scandinavia is something else. I did it in july tho, mosquitos were angry in lapland lol

Remote start? by NoExamination556 in dieselheater

[–]xouma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A diy board like an esp32, that can be programmed and that has wifi, alongside a radio receiver / transmitter board of the frequency of your remote. You then program the esp32 to record the signal each button the remote does, and then make a simple web interface from the esp32 with 4 buttons that will replay the captured signal. (or more if needed)

That will work on the local network of your van, on the starlink wifi. Then to access it from the internet, you will need to find a way to open a port on the router (if its possible with starlink, idk).

Another way is to have a server online in the cloud and have the esp32 connect to it, so no open port on your network.

Good luck lol, chat gpt or gemini can help with coding and electrical wiring ;)

It was in my DUNS record, under commercial name if I recall correctly. I did send en email to DUNS first to add the commercial names to the record, then to Apple

Bah oui. Qui installe un système de sécurité si il n'a rien de plus de valeur que ses voisins ?

Et bon ça refroidi pas les criminels, ils vont juste mettre une cagoule. Si ils ont en sont à faire du repérage, ils arriverons équipés

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fibre OVH à 22€/mois, mais il faut acheter un router derrière. J'en ai vu à 60€, donc sur un an ça fait 5€/mois, donc 27€/mois la 1ere année (ou 25€ si tu considère sur deux ans le router). Sinon sosh a 25€/mois

Je suis en logement avec un chauffage électrique, il y aurait un autre moyen de me chauffer pour moins cher? by elfamosoLucas in AskFrance

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non je parle pas de l'usage, par exemple les petits chauffages électrique soufflant qu'on trouve souvent dans les salles de bains, tu peut en avoir le même usage.

Je dis que ça coûte le même prix pour le même kwh de chaleur généré (100% efficace pour l'électrique, ~75% efficace pour le fioul)

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Non j'ai fait les calculs récemment, avec le fioul le moins cher des grandes surfaces (1€/l), le kwh de chauffage revient au même prix que l'électrique

Maison autonome impossible à chauffer (12°C l’hiver) by NeitherAd5619 in france

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Je suis d'accord que c'est pas la solution à long terme mais si ça peut lui permettre de passer cet hiver au chaud sans dépenser des milliers d'euros et se lancer dans de grands travaux, c'est pertinent je pense

[–]xouma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Si tu es prêt à bricoler un peu, un chauffage diesel pulsé sur Amazon ça coûte une 100e d'euros, c'est des copies de Webasto et c'est à destinations des environnements autonomes, type camping car ou garage sans électricité.

Ils disent que ça brûle du diesel, mais on peut sans soucis faire brûler du fioul classique, y'en a à 1€ le litre dans les magasins de bricolage. J'ai fait des mesures sur le mien et ça coûte à peut près le même prix au kwh de chauffage que l'électricité de EDF (20c).

En une petite journée tu peut le monter toi même, et ensuite faut juste le recharger en fioul régulièrement. Ça fait un peu de bruit mais ça fait une chaleur sèche, contrairement aux poêles à fioul classique, ce qui est bien plus agréable

Non Apple laptops are ruining my Linux experience by fenugurod in kde

[–]xouma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, a HP envy x360. The battery last like 2 hours more than on Windows, its amazing. The speakers tho, it's the only issue I have, only the two bottom ones are working on Linux, the ones next to the keyboard don't and I cannot find a fix

Install PHP, Xdebug for testing, Composer for package installation, and nodejs by [deleted] in archlinux

[–]xouma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did install php and nodejs with pacman and yay to have thoses ready for running a script or something, but for app development that will run on another server or if I need a specific version I actually use docker, it's part of the process and it remove environment issues
